>>192I wouldn't get bogged down in terminology. There are people who prefer to focus on the solution of problems and others who prefer the act of writing code; these are programmers and coders respectively. Programmers are probably more useful to everyone else, but it's probably best that you be happy.
C would be a noble venture, and I suggest you try it if it interests you. If you fail, just realize that you dove in the deep end without being able to swim. However you will, if you have sufficient willpower, succeed eventually. When you have become reasonably competent in C, you can move to Python et al from time to time for the sake of convenience.
Just my opinion, blah blah blah.
